Why our users love Sony WX500 camera so much?

Like the HX90, the WX500 is designed to meet the requirements of novice photographers and offers a collection of automatic shooting options, but there are also exposure modes to suit more experienced photographers: shutter priority, aperture priority and manual. Videos, however, can be shot in Full-HD at 8 bit and 40 at up to 50Mbps in AVCHD, MP4 or the new XAVC S format at 50/60p.

Causes of XAVC S files cannot be suitable for Premiere Pro CC/CS?

Granted, Premiere Pro CC/CS can handle (usually) 4K XAVC S files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. Thankfully you probably don't have to buy a new computer, but you do need to convert XAVC S to Adobe Premiere Pro using MPEG-2 (1080p) as primary delivery format (Native support formats by Adobe Premiere). As same as the issues appeared in other NLEs like FCP, iMovie, FCE, After Effects, Avid Media Composer, etc.,

Any good professional converting tools can offered to us?

For me, of course, I don't like convert my source videos, because the quality loss (even you can't tell from your eyes), but if you have been driven crazy by this problem, then you may like to have a try. What I've tried is to convert XAVC S to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro CC/CS with the help of Pavtube Video Converter for Mac. For Windows users, Pavtube Video Converter is the alternative choice. Since Windows and Mac version have upgraded to 4.8.5.1, it can also encode/decode H.265/HEVC videos on the latest Windows 10 and Mac Yosemite 10.10 so nicely.
